    Waterworks Utility Annual Report 2020

    WATERWORKS UTILITY ANNUAL REPORT 2020 The Waterworks Utility Annual Report 2020 cover image was designed by Cynthia Nguyen, a Media Arts student at Sir Charles Tupper Secondary School. Waterworks Utility Annual Report 2020 This report summarizes the City of Vancouver Waterworks Utility activities and program outcomes for 2020. It provides a financial synopsis for the year, and gives detailed information on Waterworks performance in programs for: Water Quality; Water Conservation; Capital Asset Management, and; Asset Operations & Maintenance. In 2020, a new strain of coronavirus called COVID-19 reached the City of Vancouver. This report includes details on related operational challenges and opportunities as Waterworks staff adapted to new health and safety protocols and continued to work diligently to monitor water quality, minimize water waste, maintain Vancouver’s drinking water system, and to ensure the delivery of over 100 billion litres of safe, high quality drinking water to our customers. This report is posted on the City’s website to assure the public of the excellent quality of Vancouver’s drinking water, and to promote the programs and activities supporting continuous delivery of clean, safe drinking water to Vancouver customers. Provincial regulations governing water suppliers in British Columbia require the City of Vancouver to conduct drinking water quality monitoring and publicly post the results within 6 months of year- end. This report satisfies those requirements. 2020 Report Statistics at a Glance • Waterworks delivered 108.5 billion litres of drinking water throughout Vancouver. • The drinking water quality met or exceeded Provincial Regulatory requirements, Health Canada standards and relevant International best practices. • Water conservation policies and projects resulted in a 26% decrease of potable water use from 2006 rates.

    City of Delta COUNCIL REPORT F.07 Regular Meeting To: Mayor and Council From: Corporate Services Department Date: February 21, 2018 George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project Update The following recommendations have been endorsed by the Acting City Manager. • RECOMMENDATION: THAT copies of this report be provided to: • Honourable Marc Garneau, Minister of Transport • Honourable Carla Qualtrough, Member of Parliament for Delta • Chief Bryce Williams, Tsawwassen First Nation • Honourable Claire Trevena, Minister of Transportation & Infrastructure • Ravi Kahlon, MLA Delta-North • Ian Paton, MLA Delta-South • Metro Vancouver Board of Directors • Mayors' Council on Regional Transportation • PURPOSE: The purpose of this report is to provide an update on some of the key issues related to the George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project (GMTRP), particularly in light of the Province's recent announcement regarding the Pattullo Bridge, and to provide a consolidated summary for Council's information. • BACKGROUND: On February 16, 2018, the BC government announced that it is moving forward with the construction of a $1.38 billion bridge to replace the Pattullo Bridge. This raises some questions regarding the George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project, which has been on a five-month hiatus since the Province announced last September that it was undertaking an independent technical review of the crossing. Both projects are badly needed; however, unlike the Pattullo project which is only part-way through the environmental assessment process, the tunnel replacement project is shovel-ready, has received its environmental assessment certificate and has completed the bidding process. Furthermore, in terms of both vehicular and transit traffic, the George Massey Tunnel carries Page 2 of 5 GMTRP Update February 21 , 2018 significantly higher volumes than the Pattullo Bridge (Attachments 'A' and 'B' show the volumes for all the Fraser River crossings).

Harvi e, Chief Administrative Officer TransLink recently completed the initial round of public consultation sessions in New Westminster and Surrey to solicit feedback from the public on the Pattullo Bridge. A number of alternative crossings were developed for three possible corridors: 1. Existing Pattullo Bridge Corridor 2. Sapperton Bar Corridor • New crossing located east of the existing Pattullo Bridge that would provide a more direct connection between Surrey and Coquitlam 3. Tree Island Corridor • New crossing located west of the existing Pattullo Bridge that would essentially function as an alternative to the Queensborough Bridge Based on the initial screening work that has been undertaken, six alternatives have been identified for further consideration: 1. Pattullo Bridge Corridor - Rehabilitated Bridge (3 lanes) 2. Pattullo Bridge Corridor - Rehabilitated Bridge (4 lanes) 3. Pattullo Bridge Corridor - New Bridge (4 lanes) 4. Pattullo Bridge Corridor - New Bridge (5 lanes) 5. Pattullo Bridge Corridor - New Bridge (6 lanes) 6. Sapperton Bar Corridor - New Bridge (4 lanes) coupled with Rehabilitated Pattullo Bridge (2-3 lanes) Options involving a new bridge are based on the implementation of user based charges (tolls) to help pay for the bridge upgrades.

    George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project

    GEORGE MASSEY TUNNEL REPLACEMENT PROJECT SUMMARY ASSESSMENT REPORT With Respect to the Application by the British Columbia Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure for an Environmental Assessment Certificate pursuant to the Environmental Assessment Act, S.B.C. 2002, c.43 Prepared by: Environmental Assessment Office January 19, 2017 1 Introduction This summary assessment report provides an overview of the environmental assessment (EA) of the proposed George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project (GMTR) conducted by the Environmental Assessment Office (EAO). This report cross-references relevant sections of EAO’s Assessment Report, where more in-depth analysis and discussion can be found. 2 Project Description The British Columbia Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) is proposing to: Construct a 10-lane, clear span bridge over the Fraser River; Replace three interchanges at Westminster Highway, Steveston Highway and Highway 17A; Widen approximately 24 km of Highway 99 to accommodate dedicated transit and High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes from Bridgeport Road in Richmond to Highway 91 in Delta; Replace the Deas Slough Bridge with the south approach of the new bridge; Restore Green Slough to its historical alignment; Construct multi-use pathways on either side of the new bridge for cyclists and pedestrians; and Decommission the existing George Massey Tunnel (Tunnel), which would include removal and disposal of the four in-river Tunnel segments, and flooding and backfilling the two Tunnel approaches. GMTR would become part of the provincial highway system and would be part of the Highway 99 corridor in BC’s Lower Mainland, between the Bridgeport Road interchange in Richmond and the Highway 91 interchange in Delta (see Figure 1-1).

    Outcomes in suicidal bridge jumping in the Lower Mainland by DYLAN STEPHANIAN BASc, The University of British Columbia, 2014 Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in The Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (Experimental Medicine) The University of British ColumbiA (Vancouver) December, 2019 © Dylan Stephanian, 2019 The following individuals certify that they have read, and recommend to the faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies for acceptance, the thesis entitled: Outcomes in suicidal bridge jumping in the Lower Mainland Submitted by Dylan Stephanian in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MAster of Science in Experimental Medicine. Examining committee Dr Jeff Brubacher, Emergency Medicine Supervisor Dr Doug Brown, Emergency Medicine Supervisory Committee Member Dr Andrew MacPherson, Emergency Medicine External Examiner ii Abstract On average, one person attempts suicide by jumping from a bridge in the Lower Mainland of British ColumbiA once every 14 days, but the population that jumps and their outcomes following a suicide attempt are poorly understood. A multi-agency retrospective chart review was performed using records from the Canadian Coast Guard, Joint Rescue Coordination Center, police departments, and the British Columbia Coroner’s Service to identify incidents. A complete picture of each incident was then built by identifying corresponding BC Ambulance Service and hospital records, and linking all records for each incident. This methodology successfully identified a comprehensive list of incidents, and may be useful in future prehospital and search and rescue medicine research. Records from the ten agencies involved in these incidents were collected and linked to create a dataset describing all known jumps from a bridge >12m in height in the Lower Mainland of BC from January 1, 2006 to February 28, 2017.
